Even if he meant it, a life time ban is way too harsh. There should not be any political gestures on a football field, but I don't imagine he'd get a lifetime ban had he made a different political gesture.

Btw, is this the first QF match or has any of the other three been played already?

As an electrical engineer, I highly recommend advise that!

Shouldn't feel relaxed about this until we get a third, imo.

Ummm, why would you have 10KV in your basement?!

We've been 2-0 up against Juve before this season. Must not let is slip this time.

2-0!!!

Looks a very good side despite the absence of some vital players like Kane and Saville.

Only during matches. Meaning players' performance will decrease during the last 15 mins of each half.

On a different note:

But Malaga will not be playing in Europe next season due to their ban.

And it took Mata a whole season to get used to the PL. Last year he used to completely disappear in physical games and get bullied too easily of the ball and generally went quite in the last 15 mins of every game. Don't think we can give Lucas that kind of chance because we have players who are better than him which was not the case with Mata.

WHY?? Why dwt?!!

I said Fulham because they have the aging Duff on the left wing and I'm not sure he will be a starter next season. It's the style of the Spanish league that worries me. We don't want him to get too used to it because the PL is completely different. There he gets time and space on the ball he can only dream of here. Even if he spends next season in Spain, he will need a loan to a PL side to get used to the physicality of the league before he can be a regular for us.

The game is in less than two hours. This is also a one-leg tie, right?

Pellegrini is leaving Malaga at the end of the season and there's no guarantee that he'll get minutes there next season. Besides, I'd much rather he gets PL experience under his belt. Something like a Fulham loan would be perfect.

Starts for Malaga again against Espanyol in about an hour.

All players start games with 100 stamina regardless of previous matches. Press money is added to your balance on Tuesdays.

You turn on the first switch, wait 10 mins then turn it off and turn the second switch on and go upstairs. The lamp that is on, is obvious controlled by the second switch. You feel the bulbs that are off. The hot one would be controlled by the first switch and the cold one by the third. Yes, never gets in involved in build-up play because 8 times out of ten, when Ronaldo gets on the ball he will run at defenders. And yes he is an average passer; very rarely plays defense-splitting passes. He always relies on his speed and strength alone. For all the step-overs he does, they rarely get him past player, his sheer pace and strength do. He scores goals by beating players with his pace (either on or off the ball) or by using his powerful shots. My point is, you can be one-dimensional and a great player.

I remember not wanting us to sign him last season. Boy, was I wrong! I'm sorry Kevin

"all he ever does or is good at is simply running at pace at the opposition, driving in low crosses from wide position from those runs, shooting from distance and scoring goals from free kicks." What else does Ronaldo do? He never gets involved in build-up play, he was always an average passer. Like I said, Ronaldo is much better, but he and Bale have almost the exact same style.

OMG! Australia is sooo gay!

I feel great I had a very lovely afternoon with someone I had really missed..

Well they were breaking the forum rules when they did so. You can speak in any language you wish in the Pub thread or by PM if you want, but I'm afraid you will have to stick to English elsewhere. Only that?! Funny that the exact same thing can be said about Ronaldo (not that I'm saying Bale is as good as the Ronaldo). On any account, Hazard is a completely different player who's in comparable to Bale and Ronaldo. But I'd rather have a team player like Hazard any day over individuals like the other two.
